OVERVIEW
The new EZ Connect™MIMO g 802.11g MIMO Wireless PCI
Adapter (SMCWPCI-GM) enables you to connect to 802.11g or
802.11b wireless networks at home, at the office or at public
hotspots.
The SMCWPCI-GM provides the speed, coverage, and security
expected by today's wireless users when they communicate,
download or upload large files, stream audio, video or use other
bandwidth-intensive applications. The SMCWPCI-GM is based on
an advanced Ralink MIMO G chipset that is compliant with the
IEEE 802.11g standard and certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance. This
MIMO Wireless PCI Adapter when used in its MIMO mode with a
compatible MIMO router or access point, is 20 times faster than
older 802.11b wireless networking devices and yet is 100% back-
wards compatible with them.
The SMCWPCI-GM significantly increases the performance of
mixed-mode (802.11b and 802.11g) networks and in MIMO-only
networks – provides up to 35% more throughput.
